There's a post box directly outside the hotel and a newsstand opposite. This is an excellent place for finding taxis and many buses also stop right outside. The nearest metro of Sevilla is 2 minutes walk away.

In the Plaza Canalejas, just outside the hotel, there are two café bars with outdoor terraces. The road that passes by the hotel and the Plaza is fairly busy, but I didn't find it to be too noisy.

If you take the metro, the Royal Palace is 2 stops away, and the famous Prado museum is 1 stop away in the other direction.
